South Lodge

South Lodge is a self catering cottage situated at the entrance gates to Paxton House. The pair of gate lodges were completed around 1758 as part of the building of Paxton House. The later screen with its Chippendale designed urns and recumbent lions was commissioned around 1789 by Ninian Home.

Sleeping 2 people, the lodge has a very cosy feel with an open fire in the sitting room and a spacious double bedroom. There is also a fully equipped kitchen with a small modern dining area. The lodge is pet friendly, has its own private parking and a garden.

Ideally situated on the Scottish English border, South Lodge is the perfect holiday cottage for weekend escapes and longer stays. It provides an excellent base to  explore both the Scottish Borders and the North Northumberland National Park.
